Like the US doesnt have heavily subsidized industries?

Eh ... Teams works fine for meetings. And basic chats. It's chat *search* sucks.

Yeah, exactly. It's not like it's all that hard to just put up your own website. It's just not something most writers can do, or want to do.

So ... oh the injustice! - they have to pay someone else to do it.

If it's just a "tax" and you get no value from it, then go ahead, create and maintain your own website. Since it's so easy that it should be free.

If it did, and if you applied that evenly, then all living ex presidents would do time.

So ... you are just spewing random political nonsense. And you know it.

(And if your valuable stuff were stolen from a car, you'd be calling those mean old police, and you'd be hoping that the thief would do time.)

Only if you say it's OK elsewhere.

To train an LLM during flight.

Yeah. It's bloody exhausting reading articles with the singular they.

If you don't like english, there are many others to choose from. But the singular they has been with us since english was still laden with thees and thous with the oldest examples going back to the 1300s so I'm afraid the ancestor to which one should direct complaints died long ago. Probably aged 30 of some sort of medieval plague.

I would hope so. Why shouldn't you do time for theft?

I suspect part of it is that the mitigation for DirtyFrag covers it, so everyone who blocked all the modules in question when that had only an incomplete patch probably hasn't unblocked them yet. I think this is the 4th patch for these modules, and only got a new name rather than just "there's still a way to get this code to do the wrong thing" because a different outside team found this one.

What I'm hearing is "But, I'm a highly-compensated professional! Not like all the plebes we spy on constantly to compensate me."

I do agree that they should stand up for themselves, and they have my support, once I'm done supporting causes I consider more important, like toe lint eradication.

Facebook headhunters used to bug me constantly. I put up an autoresponder telling them what I thought of their business model, leadership and general behavior, and that I would wash dishes for a living before working for a degrading, anti-human shithole like FB. Eventually they got the message.

I ended up in a fairly heated argument with some FB employees several years back when I mentioned that. It was obvious they felt stung by someone rejecting the choices they made and kept leaning in to, "but I make more money than you". Which was I was happy to concede, it was true. Suggesting that my self-esteem costs more than theirs didn't seem to be what they wanted to hear..

I wonder if those folks are still there, protesting about their workplace privacy.

Yeah, I dunno. Just needs more hard consonants separating those almost identical vowel sounds, or something.

I have about $500 of vintage tools I ordered from ebay in the mail right now. I've also got over a dozen camera lenses that I purchased on there.

So your the bastard who keeps outbidding me on camera lenses. Hiss!

Dude. Its Kenya, not Somalia. Whatever you might think of Kenya, it aint that. Any monster scale project will need security, but a handful of guys in security guard uniforms will cover it.

I mean, if you can't trust criminals, who can you trust?!?
